For this week's Concert Corner chat with CineStars' Brittany Umar, I take a look back at those shows and look ahead to some of the concerts this weekend.

Fall Out Boy's indefinite hiatus has ended. The pop-punk band from Wilmette, Ill., featuring former tabloid magnet Pete Wentz, announced Monday that it's back together after a four-year absence - and kicking off its U.S. tour at The Rave's Eagles Ballroom May 14, just one week after it releases a new album, "Save Rock and Roll."

Parks, born Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala., is the African-American woman who was memorably arrested on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger.
